However, the Kings' offensive impatience has appeared more and more opportunities the Trail Blazers can seize. And as the game deepens, the Trail Blazers are more and more aware of the Kings' severe decline in defense!

In the second half of the second quarter, the two teams scored 14-16.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers were still 63-64 and 1 point behind the Kings.

It's time to the third section.

The two teams have completely different mentalities.

The third quarter is the most confident quarter for the Kings, a team with the highest record in the league.

But although the Trail Blazers are not unconfidence, in their hearts, every quarter is similar. They have to fight to play top-level teams to have a chance.

Moreover, it was Liu Xiu who came on the field to sort out the team's offense at the beginning of the third quarter.

The Kings players... were impetuous and didn't feel it.

My teammates felt it very clearly - my rookie warden was too steady!

Liu Xiu played normally and could not get too high data, but the team's rhythm was well controlled and was mainly steady. They did not ask for a score to be overtaken immediately.

But the Kings on the opposite side wanted to widen the gap immediately! As a result, the gap did not widen, and the Kings were playing impatiently...

Then, the opportunity for the Trail Blazers to play out!

In 4 minutes and 11 seconds, Liu Xiu had a big gap in the wing sideline, and took the extramarital madman to cut into the second pass in the middle, making a three-pointer.

At 4 minutes and 39 seconds, Liu Xiu followed up in the counterattack, received the return pass from the second pass from Tianzun, and made a two-pointer shot in the top arc, which also caused Peja to foul. The goal was valid and he received a penalty!

Before these two teams, the Trail Blazers were 2 points behind, and Liu Xiu also made a free throw, becoming a 4-point lead!

With this momentum, the Trail Blazers played until they entered the official timeout and led the Kings by 5 points 81-76.

In the second half of the third quarter, Little Flying Squirrel's sudden score + Randolph's face-to-frame singles, and the Kings, who had adjusted their mental state during the official suspension period, had a hard time playing.

The Trail Blazers worked hard to maintain a 5-point lead.

After playing 9 minutes and 11 seconds in the third quarter, the score difference was chased by the Kings to only 3 points left, Liu Xiu was empty at the right 45-degree angle, and the receiver made a two-pointer to stabilize the situation!

At the end of the third quarter, the Kings failed to make a move.

The Trail Blazers counterattacked, and Liu Xiu received the ball again. This time the Kings were more active than before, but Liu Xiu, who had already scored 11 points in this quarter, was not greedy for me. He made a goal, and the extramarital madman cut into the receiving ball, and made a close throw from the bottom line...

The extra-law madman beats his chest + roar + retreat, and the Trail Blazers widen the gap to 9 points with 95-86!

The Kings' last attack was ironed, and the Trail Blazers entered the break with a 9-point lead!

How good is the opponent defending?

no!

Adelman was furious and angrily scolded the team members for their irrationality during the holiday break.

The top teams are ultimately the top teams. Although they played a miserable single-quarter score of 22 to 32 in the third quarter, they woke up and quickly became involved in thinking about how to turn the tables.

...

After resting during the festival, entering the final quarter, the Trail Blazers players knew the real tough battle and only came at this time!

The confidence and pride of top-level teams is not so easy to shatter.

Moreover, it’s not only their Trail Blazers who will learn from their lessons, but the same goes for the opponent!

With the experience of psychological failure in the first matchup of the season, this time, the Kings were not like that.

Sure enough, the Kings played an 8-3 wave at the beginning of the last quarter, chasing the score to 94-98, narrowing the gap to the safety line.

And this is obviously not a safety line for the Trail Blazers.

Fortunately, he scored a 9-point lead in the third quarter, helping the Trail Blazers with this wave of impact.

Moreover, the Trail Blazers are not vegetarians. When they have a long 48-minute battle in strength and are in good condition, it is difficult for them to beat the top Kings in the league.

But in just one quarter of the game, they are not afraid!

In the following time, the Trail Blazers and the Kings scored 26-27.

After playing 11 minutes and 52 seconds in the last quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Kings by 3 points 124 to 121!

In the last defense, the Trail Blazers did not defend themselves. Bibi's singles three-pointer hit the buzzer, dragging the game into overtime!

With a score of 38 to 29 in a single quarter, the Kings fully demonstrated their offensive strength as the No. 1 in the league!

The Trail Blazers players were glad that they won the Kings 10 points in the third quarter, otherwise they would be miserable!

The Trail Blazers were very low when preparing for this game, which played a crucial role in the game.

Also, the players chatted about something during the training break - it would be great if they made it into overtime.

They made up the Kings' overtime performance. Before this game, the Kings played three overtimes this season and lost.

Not only this season, according to Adelman's disagreement with the eight-player rotation, even in the 2001-02 playoffs, he lost both overtimes!

Bibi's buzzer-beating three-pointer made, and the Trail Blazers players were very upset.

But entering overtime, the Trail Blazers players quickly escaped from their annoyance and prepared to play overtime!

Liu Xiu quickly ate 3 of a candied haws, played overtime, and had 25% physical strength, which was enough, which was the full value to 75%.

Tianzun and Kobe Terminator each ordered one. It was delicious and delicious. The outer syrup was sweet but not greasy, melted in the mouth, and the oranges inside were also very fresh...

But it's useless except for delicious food!

I can only say that the warden is talented...

Or is eating just a hobby?

No matter which one it was, I was very excited to look at the warden who was eager to try and the teammates who had been exhausted and unable to play in overtime for the Kings.

The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, extrajudicial madman, Myers, and Randolph.

Two high school students, it’s good to be young!

Xiao Fei Mouse played for 23 minutes in regular time, and it was fine to play overtime. Randolph’s physical strength was weird.

The Kings sent Bibby, Christie, Peja, Brad Miller and Divac.

In their lineup, even Divac played for 33 minutes. Except for Bibi, the other four players only played for 35 minutes, and the other three players played for more than 40 minutes, among which Peja played the whole game.

They are used to this.

What they couldn't understand was how the rookie on the opposite side performed so well when they hit them?

With 10 of 18 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, plus 5 of 5 free throws, Liu Xiu scored 28 points!

It was not as exaggerated as it was in the first match. It made 3 of 5 three-pointers in the open space and 7 of 10 shots in the entire open space. Liu Xiu played against the Timberwolves not long ago, and there were as many open opportunities, but only 50% of the shooting percentage!

If Liu Xiu only had the performance of the open shots against the Timberwolves tonight, the Kings wouldn't have to play overtime!

But, it's not over yet!

Overtime begins!

The extrajudicial madman beat Miles to beat Mills and went out to jump the ball, easily winning the jump ball from Brad Miller's head. Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt with Mills' cover to block Christie, and then quickly pulled the body forward and changed direction to pass Brad Miller into the inside line, hit Divac in a small way, shot through the board and caused a foul.

The referee's whistle sounds, the goal is valid, and there is a penalty.

Amid the booing of fans on the scene, Liu Xiu made steady shots and added penalty, increasing his personal score to 31 points, and 30+ for the third time in his career! And helping the Trail Blazers take the lead in overtime!

When the Kings attacked, the Trail Blazers focused on defending Bibi, and the rest of the people were empty.

Peja lived up to expectations and made a three-pointer, but the Kings players were very smart. The two inside players actively fought and snatched. Even Randolph could not beat four-handed with two fists. Two 210+cm tall guys were very difficult for him.

Brad Miller grabbed an offensive rebound and caused a foul. He went to the free throw line and made both free throws, chasing the score to 126-127, and biting it tight.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Feishe missed a single shot.

When the Kings attacked, the Kings once again scored two points with offensive rebounding tip-in, 128 to 127, and the Kings overtook the score!

The Flying Squirrel missed two consecutive shots, and the Kings grabbed the offensive rebound and shot it out, and Bibby made a shot.

130 to 127, the Kings led by 3 points!

Xiao Feishi no longer played solo, greeted Liu Xiu and played tactics!

Liu Xiu ran to the top level with the cover on the wing, and caught the ball and scored a three-pointer!

The Kings have a huge height advantage in the interior, but they can't always have offensive rebounds.

And Peja really couldn't make it!

Correspondingly, Liu Xiu's performance in overtime was really good.

In overtime, Kings players felt that Liu Xiu was faster and more accurate than before... not right!

They are tired and their condition is declining, and this rookie is still in shape! So they can't help but be more aware!

After 6 points, Liu Xiu made 2 of 3 shots in the next time, and scored another 4 points, scoring 10 points alone.

During this period, the Kings also scored 3 points, biting the score, 133-134 behind 1 point.

As we played, there were 30 seconds left in overtime.

Trail Blazers offense.
